Result-Based Management (RBM) for the Public Sector

Why Attended

Results-Based Management (RBM) is learning how to design and use a strategic performance effectiveness management tool that clarifies where performance is strong or weak typically using the third generation balanced scorecard. RBM is simply a management tool that uses feedback loops to achieve organizational strategic goals and is fast becoming the preferred system used in government where purely financial measures are not the key drivers and there is no competition to benchmark against.

RBM asserts that everybody who contributes directly or indirectly to the desired organizational result should map out their product or service processes and systems showing how they all contribute to the desired result. This ‘result’ maybe a physical output, a change, an impact or a contribution to a higher-level goal. Information (evidence) of the actual results is used for accountability, reporting and to feedback into the design, resourcing and delivery of projects and operational activities.

The important features of the Results-Based Management (RBM) training course are:

Mapping of connections between the parts
Identifying the key features of a results culture to show how the system should work as a unified whole
Exploring key success factors
Using the model to identify strengths, weaknesses and gaps in their own RBM systems and cultures
Developing a strategy to address their priorities
